My Hearts In The Highlands

  my heart's in the highlands
  tune—“failte na miosg.”
  farewell to the highlands, farewell to the north,
  the birth-place of valour, the country of worth;
  wherever i wander, wherever i rove,
  the hills of the highlands for ever i love.
  chorus.—my heart's in the highlands, my heart is not here,
  my heart's in the highlands, a-chasing the deer;
  chasing the wild-deer, and following the roe,
  my heart's in the highlands, wherever i go.
  farewell to the mountains, high-cover'd with snow,
  farewell to the straths and green vallies below;
  farewell to the forests and wild-hanging woods,
  farewell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods.
  my heart's in the highlands, c.
